Iā€™d probably avoid ā€œTAXFREEā€ for a few reasons. First, it isnā€™t even true as one still pays licensing taxes. :stuck_out_tongue: Second, it might get the wrong type of attention and start a push towards taxing all fuels or make other people resentful instead of interested.

Thanks a lot! Planning on making application first of week. A person can make a real statement on a personalized plate, I will have to think about it for a while!!!
In the meantime the Diamond ā€œTā€ made itā€™s first ā€œWorkā€ trip Friday. It pulled this load of left over brick and some scaffolding back home, right at 10,000lbs about 120 miles !!!

Nice Herb! That is such a cool looking truck

#505

After choosing one and then the other for the last few days I am going to go with

WDPOWRD

I think it describes the car the best without making any enemies!!!
Going to make application tomorrow, $25 and 4-6 weeks time.

#506

you could always go with TERMITE

#507

Well turns out the auto licensing dept. just gave me a form to fill out and send in myself so I still have time to think about name.
You guys came up with lots of very good suggestions, I want to make it plain as possible for people to figure out.
Iā€™ve got it down to either WDPOWRD as before mentioned or WODPWRD puts more emphasis on wood which I like. Whatdaha think?

#508

Maybe WUDPRWD?

#509

WODPWRDā€¦gets my vote.

#510

WODPWRD

especially for those of us that are familar with the accronyms we use on this site. Problem is there is enough confusion in this world without me adding to it. One thing I hate is seeing a personalized plate and not being able to figure out what it stands for!!! What do those people expect us to do, are we suppose to pull them over and ask what the heck they are trying to tell us!!!Just one of those things that drives me a little bit nuts!!! Herb

Hi Herb, I remind you that to get a replacement for a lost plate here costs 5 bucks and usually the "prisoners: crank it out in 2 weeks or so ā€¦ Sometimes they send a whole pair ā€¦ Go the cheap route but donā€™t mount it on the hottest part of the gasifier :o) ā€¦ Add a $3 light for it ā€¦ Have to drive to Milwaukee in a few minutes ā€¦ Grandsonā€™s 3rd birthday party. Itā€™s finally sunny and I have to leaveā€¦ crap ā€¦ So much to do here ā€¦Mike

into just getting a replacement and I think you are about right on the cost Mike.

I decided I wanted to send a message, make a statement. There are so many people that wonder what that big black thing is on the back of the Caddy. Some people ask but most donā€™t, they look and look at it trying to figure it out. Itā€™s funny to watch. I think if I have it on the plate people would find it helpful!!

I think I will mount it the same place but make an aluminum bracket / holder that holds it out away from unit about an inch. That way I can reuse the holes.

LIGHT, why would I want a light on it?? I canā€™t see it back there anyway and besides I already know what my tag says!!! Herb
